Download or read book Discovering God Through the Lives of Elijah and Elisha written by Jayna Coppedge and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-10-11 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge is power; therefore knowing God is incredibly powerful. However, learning to recognize God's personality is life changing. Each chapter of "Discovering God Through Elijah and Elisha: Bible Study Guide," is designed to demonstrate how to recognize God's influence. The actor hidden in every Bible scene is God Himself. While studying 1 Kings 16 through 2 Kings 10, the reader learns to automatically look for God's character, values, and personality. Spiritual growth in faith, prayer, worship, and obedience result as the explorer discovers God. Special themes in the book include: How do I know if God is speaking to me? Does faith mean going against common sense? Why don't I see God at work in my life and the lives of my friends? Can I really trust God to meet my needs? How can God be both loving and wrathful? How can I choose the best version and Bible style for me? This study guide has something for every Christian. The new believer is trained to interpret scripture using other Bible passages. As the reader discovers the similarity between John the Baptist and Elijah, then compares Elisha with Joshua and Jesus, suddenly obscure Old Testament stories become understandable. Through practice the novice can find and apply biblical principles to the issues they are facing. Even those who have studied scripture for decades often confuse Elijah and Elisha. Not only are their names similar, but these prophets lived during a difficult time in biblical history. Judah and Israel had kings with similar names. Jayna not only explains the significance of each event, but also describes the culture, so that each verse is clear. The style of this book is like the workbooks written by Beth Moore and Henry Blackaby; however, there is no video to watch. Although this Bible Study is designed for an individual to meditate on scripture and write his or her answers inside the book, there are two chapters providing instructions as to how to use the book as a group Bible study. Often the thought-provoking questions will lead to a lively discussion. For an example, of how the book draws modern application from the Old Testament, CHAPTER 37 "Don't Waste Your Time on a God Substitute" reads: "When something happens in your life do you immediately call your spouse, or text a friend? When you need advice do you call your mom, search in Google, or go to Facebook? When you want prayer, do you email the prayer chain, or do you pray? If God isn't your first contact, you can learn a lot from this Shunammite mother." Jayna uses her own life experiences throughout the book to demonstrate how biblical principles are still relevant in every life. Learn to love and appreciate God as you discover Him in the lives of these miracle working men, and dedicated women. God has a mantle for you. Wear it well.

This book was released on 2019-07 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elijah and Elisha are among the earliest and most influential prophets of Israel. They were both used to call Israel and Judah back to the Lord. Yet, their impact extended far beyond the boundaries of Israel in both space and time, impacting other nations and later times. Their stories form the framework of 1 and 2 Kings. Additionally, their accounts also inform and shape later Jewish biblical and religious texts. Quite significantly, the Elijah-Elisha historical pattern plays an important role in the structure and substance of the texts of the Gospels. Important people are pictured against the background of these two key figures in Israel's history. Not only that, but the Elijah-Elisha narrative serves as part of the structure of key sections of the Gospels, themselves. Welcome to the adventure of exploring these key figures-- Elijah and Elisha--with Dr. Walter C. Kaiser. Enjoy!

Download or read book Elijah Elisha written by Russell M. Stendal and published by Ransom Press International. This book was released on 2019-06-13 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the time the Lord brought Elijah on the scene, the kings of Israel and Judah were in serious trouble with the Lord. Their many years of worshiping Baal and golden calves, listening to Jezebel, and killing the prophets was catching up to them. Their earthly kingdoms were coming to an end, and the Lord would move quickly when he moved. What appeared to be harmless details to them was, in fact, rebellion in the sight of God. While the kings served the gods of this world, Elijah and Elisha did not. Rather, they were dedicated only to the Word of the Lord, and if the Lord didn’t speak directly to them, they didn’t move at all. When they did move, it was with the power and authority of the Lord, resulting in the dramatic calling down of fire from heaven, a three-year drought, people raised from the dead, and many other miraculous events. But did Elijah and Elisha take any glory? No, Elisha didn’t even accept Naaman’s token of appreciation – so completely was he relying only on the Lord’s provision. The lives of Elijah and Elisha, as well as the corrupt lives of the kings, serve as important lessons for us today. In addition, there are many prophecies in 1 and 2 Kings that are now being fulfilled. In fact, the entire account is filled with living parables that are relevant for today. The last Chapter of 1 Kings ends with the prophetic ministry facing serious jeopardy. The first Chapter of 2 Kings opens with an awesome supernatural vindication of God's prophet. Even Elijah seems to have been unaware of exactly when the timeline went past a tipping point into a new day in which the true prophets were never forced to retreat. We seem to be approaching a similar tipping point today. Your own life will be changed forever if you heed the truth that the Lord reveals to you in this book.

Download or read book Elijah Women s Bible Study Participant Workbook written by Melissa Spoelstra and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2018-08-07 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Go the distance in the life of faith. Life is like a rollercoaster. One day it seems that everything in life is good, and the next day it can feel like everything is falling apart. Then there are those in between days when we’re coasting along without much thought to the highs or lows. The prophet Elijah experienced this rollercoaster ride as well. One moment he was hiding out in the wilderness during a famine, being fed by the ravens, and the next he was on the mountaintop where God showed up in a powerful way with fire and then rain. Even Elijah grew weary of all the ups and downs, telling God, “I have had enough” (1 Kings 19:4). He needed spiritual stamina in order to keep on going and fulfill all the plans God had for his life. We do too! In this six-week study grounded in 1 and 2 Kings, we will examine the life of the prophet Elijah, an ordinary man who did extraordinary things for God in the midst of the highs and lows of life. We’ll learn some of the spiritual stamina secrets that helped him to hold on and persevere in faith, including practical habits related to making decisions, caring for the soul, accepting his circumstances, mentoring, and finishing well—which was his ultimate legacy. Whether we’re currently in a mountaintop season where we’re experiencing God’s power and blessing, a valley season where we feel like running away, or somewhere in between, Elijah’s life will inspire us to go the distance in the life of faith. Best of all, his story will challenge us but not shame us, because we’ll discover that Elijah was just as human as we are. He doubted and struggled just as we do, but ultimately, he chose to believe God. As we study his life, we will grow in faith and develop spiritual stamina that will help us not only to survive but actually thrive in every season. Bible Study Features: Examine the life of the prophet Elijah. Learn practical disciplines that give us spiritual stamina for every season in life. Grow in faith and be inspired by an ordinary man who did extraordinary things for God. Be enabled to not just survive but thrive in the midst of the ups and downs of life.

Other components for the Bible study, available separately, include a Leader Guide, DVD with six sessions of about 25 minutes each, and boxed Leader Kit (an all-inclusive box containing one copy of each of the Bible study’s components).

Download or read book Elijah and Elisha written by Titus Chu and published by . This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elijah and Elisha were two of the greatest prophets in the Old Testament. Their lives included many extraordinary events, such as the contest between Elijah and the prophets of Baal at Mount Carmel. They also performed a number of notable miracles, including raising people from the dead, calling down fire from heaven, and dividing the waters of the Jordan. At the same time, we can see in their lives many ways in which the Lord worked with them, causing them to grow in their relationship with Him and training them for their service unto Him. Thus, while we may never have such dramatic experiences as they did, we can still draw from their lives many valuable lessons for our own Christian life and service. In this completely revised edition of Elijah & Elisha, Titus Chu considers these lessons and applies them for us today. From Chapter 1, "God's Purpose and Mankind's Failure" " Elijah and Elisha were the greatest of God's prophets. Their experiences were profound, and their lives were meaningful. Most readers of the Bible don't expect to experience what they experienced. However, they are presented as people just like us-people who grew and developed until they became useful to God (James 5:17). If we cooperate with God to grow and develop as they did, we also shall live for God's testimony and become manifest for the fulfillment of His purpose." Chapter Titles Preface 1.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why a Book on Elijah and Elisha? Because Christians today confront the same issues Elijah and Elisha did: strong spiritual attacks from evil powers operating in the world, the temptation to sacrifice faith through compromise, and the tendency to concentrate on form rather than essence in spiritual life. Because Elijah and Elisha dealt with the key issues of the faith: Christian formation through listening and obeying God, true solitude, prayer, living by faith, compassion, justice, single-minded and wholehearted devotion to God, and evangelism and mission.

Download or read book From Contemplation to Action written by Mark G. Boyer and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-09-10 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemplation is a spiritual process involving long, thoughtful, steady, serious, and attentive consideration or observation in order to achieve closer unity with God and to discover and understand God's will for the contemplative. Contemplation gives rise to activity, and activity, in turn, gives rise to more contemplation. The result of contemplation is often called discernment, seeing clearly what is at first not very clear or obvious, understanding what is not immediately obvious, resulting in accuracy of spiritual perception. Divine discernment is contemplation in action; it results in insight, inspiration, and an awareness of inner truth upon which one must act. While there are countless models of contemplation leading to action, the ninth-century BCE prophets Elijah and Elisha are the examples used in this book. Both are seers, messengers, and heralds of the LORD. They appear in activity when they are needed, and they disappear into solitude and silence when they are not.
